The market for sports cameras equipped with AI-tracking technology is swiftly growing, highlighted by numerous new models showcased at CES 2026. The XbotGo Falcon emerges as a formidable competitor to leading brands in the industry. Specifically designed for sports, the XbotGo Falcon is an AI-tracking camera that can be mounted on a tripod, programmed to focus on particular sports, and tailored to field specifications. It captures games by autonomously panning and zooming to keep up with the action.

For those acquainted with AI-tracking sports cameras, names like Veo are well recognized, particularly among soccer teams. However, Veo’s steep prices, including a $1,200 camera and an annual subscription surpassing $1,000, render it less attractive for parents or volunteer coaches. The XbotGo Falcon presents a more budget-friendly alternative with no ongoing subscription costs.

Previously, XbotGo launched the Chameleon, which necessitated a smartphone for recording while utilizing its AI-tracking capabilities. This arrangement had drawbacks, such as the inability to use the phone for other tasks during games or conveniently monitoring recordings. The XbotGo Falcon addresses these concerns by incorporating a high-grade recording camera and allowing iPhones to serve as monitors for live footage. If the AI-tracking falters, users can manually operate the Falcon with their iPhone.

XbotGo has enhanced its AI-tracking software to concentrate on the game ball, mitigating distractions from activities on the sidelines. While other AI tracking cameras were presented at CES, the XbotGo Falcon stands out as a budget-friendly, prosumer choice for sports documentation. It is perfect for parents or small youth teams, providing substantial savings in contrast to Veo’s advanced analytical options.

The XbotGo Falcon is set to be shipped to early Kickstarter backers this month and will officially launch in March at a price of $599. For the latest information from the tech event, visit the Mashable CES 2026 hub.
